Great Tang princess

Chapter 228 The Family I Haven't Seen for a Long Time

Seeing his sister's familiar smile, Li Xian, who was still a little embarrassed after being separated for a year, suddenly laughed too: "If you don't want anyone, you can't miss you."

"Well, that's a good point!"

Li Yuechen nodded, and walked towards him with open arms: "It's been a long time, come and give me a hug!"

Li Xian, who is now the prince, subconsciously wants to check his identity, after all, many people around him are watching.

But seeing her sister walking over with her arms open, she couldn't hold back after all, and also opened her arms.

However, at the next moment, Li Yuechen flashed past him and hugged Princess Yiyang: "Sister, I haven't seen you for a long time, are you okay?"

"Okay, everything is fine!" Princess Yiyang smiled and touched her head, "Chen'er has grown a lot taller!"

"Really?" Li Yuechen looked down at his body, "I don't feel anything."

Li Xian turned his head in disbelief, opened his eyes wide and looked at this younger sister whom he hadn't seen for a year, unexpectedly he did this to him as soon as he came back.

Seeing the expression on his face, Li Yuechen suddenly smiled, then turned around and gave him a hug: "Brother, I'm back!"

Li Xian, who was hugged, was stunned, then nodded, and patted her on the back: "Just come back!"

Then Li Yuechen hugged each of them one by one, and then took a deep breath: "I'm finally back. I haven't been able to eat or sleep well this year. I need to rest for a few days first!"

"Follow me back to meet the two adults first." Li Xian smiled, "Since the good news came back, I have been talking about it every day!"

The brothers and sisters walked towards Li Xiankuan's large carriage while chatting.

Li Yuechen looked curiously at Li Xian's carriage behind him, it was not two-wheeled, but four-wheeled!
I squatted down and took a look, and found that there were all kinds of accessories such as leaf springs. Except that the specifications were a little worse than the emperor's car, everything else was almost the same.

"This carriage..."

Princess Xuancheng explained with a smile: "Chen'er, not long after you set out, the road from Dongdu to Luoyang was completed. Qing Wan didn't let the captives idle, so she continued to repair the road from Dongdu. Now, you found Many dignitaries have placed orders for these four-wheeled carriages, and they are all scheduled for next year!"

"Oh?" Li Yuechen's eyes lit up, "That must have made a lot of money, right?"

"You should ask Qingwan yourself after you see Qingwan." Princess Xuancheng said with a smile.

The four-wheeled carriage is much more spacious, and there are several seats inside, and bamboo curtains are hung on the surrounding windows, which can be said to fully express the luxury of the royal family.

After all, the royal family is not short of money now, so many places are willing to spend money!

At this time, Liu Rengui also rode over, and dismounted to salute Li Xian and others.

"Mr. Liu is exempt."

Li Xian stretched out his hand to help him up: "Your Majesty was very happy when the news came back. Now that the army is returning to court, Your Majesty can't wait to see Duke Liu. Hurry up and get on the carriage with me and enter the palace for an audience."

"Hey!"

Liu Rengui waved his hand: "How can I ride in the crown prince's carriage? Just ride a horse and follow behind a few highnesses!"

"How can this be so? Mr. Liu is my hero of the Tang Dynasty and Yuechen's master. He can sit in both emotionally and rationally! Get in the carriage quickly!" Li Xian dragged him to the carriage as he spoke. .

There was nothing wrong with what he said, Liu Rengui refused a few more times, then he stopped refusing, and finally got on the carriage.

While getting into the car, he looked at Li Yuechen at the same time, a trace of helplessness flashed in his eyes.

Foolish boy, the prince is blatantly trying to win me over by the corporal Li Xian, so don't worry!Liu Rengui complained silently in his heart.

And Li Yuechen didn't think about these things at all, but pulled Princess Xuancheng's sleeve and said in a low voice: "Sister, tell me quickly, how much did you earn?"

"Not much, not much..." Princess Xuancheng smiled while covering her mouth.

Li Xian who was next to me heard it, and muttered in a low voice: "I must have made a lot of money, but I'm just a bit stingy. Last time I asked to borrow some money, my sister-in-law told me that I need my parents' permission..."

"Shut up!" Li Xian turned his head and taught, "If it's a serious business, it's fine. How could your parents agree to borrow money to gamble on cockfights?"

Li Xian curled his lips and didn't speak. Only Li Lun was more introverted, so he didn't say anything, just took out a cowhide bag and handed it to his sister with a smile.

"This is the fresh yogurt that my brother sent someone to make in the morning, Yuechen should try it."

"Yeah!" Li Yuechen took it and took a big sip: "It tastes good!"

Among the older brothers, although Li Lun didn't talk much, he never cared less about her. In addition, the two of them were only two or three years apart, so there was a tacit understanding in many things. Feel.

The carriage entered Dongdu from Dingding Gate very steadily. Before entering the city gate, Li Yuechen opened the bamboo curtain and looked out in surprise.

I saw a straight hardened road leading directly to Ziwei Palace at the end of the road.

The main street of Dongdu is the same as Zhuque Avenue in Chang'an, with a width of more than 30 meters.

And this hardened road is a full 100 meters wide, covering almost the entire road except for the street trees on both sides.

However, a five-foot-wide dirt road was left in the middle, so that the horse could run wildly when the emergency military situation was transmitted.

Seeing this scene, Li Yuechen couldn't help but widen his eyes. Don't look at it as just a road, but it made the overall feeling of Dongdu even taller.

Seeing her expression, Princess Xuancheng explained beside her: "Most of the streets in the Eastern Capital have been built with hard roads like this, making it much easier to pass through!"

"That's right!" Li Xian, who was sitting across from him, nodded, "And there are quite a few dudes playing roller skating on the street from time to time!"

Speaking of this, he turned his head and glanced at Liu Rengui who was sitting beside Li Xian.

The carriage gradually approached the Dingding Gate, and before entering, they heard waves of shouts.

Although the news of the army's return to the imperial court was not deliberately publicized today, it was not kept secret either. Since it was decided ten days ago, many people spontaneously came to both sides of the road to welcome them.

As soon as the prince's car entered the Dingding Gate, the people on both sides of the road raised their hands and shouted.

Because there were too many people and it was messy, I couldn't hear what they were shouting.

But judging from the smiles on their faces, they should be celebrating this victory!
Li Yuechen deliberately lifted the curtain and waved to them, but after thinking about it, he still didn't do so.

……

The carriage entered the imperial city, everyone got up and got off, and then went to Renshou Hall.

Today is not the day of going to court, and it is also afternoon.

Furthermore, considering that he hadn't seen his daughter for a long time, he needed to have a good chat, so Li Zhi didn't notify other ministers to enter the palace.

The official welcome ceremony was arranged for tomorrow's court meeting. Today's main purpose is to welcome my daughter and meet Liu Rengui, a minister who is in control by the way.

Did the few people come to the Hall of Renshou? Before they entered, Zhang Chengxin, the chief internal officer, greeted them with a smile.

"I have met all your Highnesses, Mr. Liu!"

Li Yuechen raised his head: "Eunuch Zhang, long time no see!"

"Oh, His Highness is back. The saint and the empress have been talking about it for the past few days!" Zhang Chengxin said with a smile.

"Fortunately, I came back before the Chinese New Year." Li Yuechen smiled.

"His Royal Highness and Mr. Liu, hurry up and enter the palace to have an audience. The sage has said so, there is no need to report!"

Li Yuechen nodded, took off his shoes with his brothers and sisters and entered the hall.

Before entering the hall, Li Zhi and Wu Zetian had already stood up.

Liu Rengui saluted respectfully: "Chen, Liu Rengui, I have seen the Emperor and Empress!"

On the other hand, Li Yuechen trotted all the way and threw himself into Li Zhi's arms: "Grandpa, I'm back! Miss me?"

"Oh, I'm back!" Li Zhi also hugged his daughter tightly and patted her on the back.

Then he let go of her, with red eyes and said: "Chen'er has worked hard all the way, I haven't seen her in a year, and she has grown a lot taller."

"Really?" Li Yuechen stood up straight and compared his body, it seemed that it was indeed.

Then he threw himself into Wu Zetian's arms: "Mother, I miss you so much!"

Wu Zetian didn't feel like Li Zhi was about to cry, but just touched his daughter's face lightly: "It's good to be back, it's good to be back!"

Li Zhi came over to look at the various scratches on his daughter's armor, and couldn't help but ask, "Is there any injury?"

"Don't worry, Grandpa, my daughter is number one in the world, who can hurt me?" Li Yuechen said with a smile.

"That's right! Number one in the world! Hahaha..." Li Zhi hugged her in his arms with red eyes and a smile.

Wu Zetian next to her also looked up and down at the scratches on her armor, and said softly: "My son has suffered..."

"It's not bitter, it's what a child should do to share worries for parents." Li Yuechen grinned, revealing a row of white teeth.

Seeing the family there for a long time without seeing each other, Liu Rengui, still maintaining a salute posture, licked his cheeks.

I wonder if I am a bit redundant here?
……

It was Li Yuechen who was the first to notice the embarrassment of the master. He took two steps back and came to Liu Rengui's side and said, "Grandpa, Auntie, this time I went out with the master and learned a lot!"

"Cough!" Li Zhi also reacted, "Liu Gong is the minister of Datang, and the contribution this time is indispensable..."

Hearing Li Zhi's praise, Liu Rengui hurriedly said: "The emperor doesn't know. This time the princess proposed a new way of fighting, and achieved an amazing record of annihilating more than [-] enemies, but only losing three of them! In this battle, The one who deserves the most credit should be Your Highness!"

Although it was said that the good news had been received, but now hearing Liu Rengui say it himself, both the couple and Li Xian and others beside him are still very shocked.

The main reason is that this kind of record is simply impossible, but she really did it.

When they received the good news in the court, most of the people in the court also had an attitude of disbelief.

The first reaction was that Liu Rengui was paving the way for his apprentice to increase his prestige.

But if you think about it carefully, it's not right. This record is so exaggerated that even if you make it up, you won't make it up like this. It's too outrageous.

What's more, this kind of thing can't stand the investigation. If it is fake, not only him, but the princess herself will also be ruined in the end.

Liu Rengui is the prime minister, how could he not know this truth?
So the princess may have really made such an exaggerated feat, but how did she do it?

Li Zhi knew that his daughter was born with supernatural powers, and he once thought that this daughter was the God of War, Baihu Xingxia.

But after all, she is a body of flesh and blood, and she is not a real fairy. How did this kind of thing happen?

Hearing Liu Rengui talk about this now, he immediately asked suspiciously: "Speaking of which, how did Chen'er do this?"

Originally, Li Yuechen had the idea of ​​reforming the army, so he explained: "My boy just proposed the concept of special operations."

"What is special operations?" Li Zhi had also read military books, but this was the first time he had heard of this term.

"It's unconventional warfare, using concealment, detection, infiltration and other means to achieve the goal of asymmetric warfare." Li Yuechen roughly explained, "Strive to pay the smallest price, achieve the goal with the fastest speed and the highest efficiency... ..."

While explaining, he also talked about the various methods used in this battle.

Whether it was Li Zhi's couple or Li Xian and the others next to him, their eyes lit up. This kind of fighting method was really unheard of.

Even Wu Zetian, who has always maintained a calm personality, looked surprised: "How did Chen'er come up with such a method?"

"The book of war says: Soldiers are deceitful! The essence lies in the ever-changing, unexpected. Just think about it from this angle." Li Yuechen pretended to be very satisfied.

Seeing everyone's surprised eyes with admiration, I felt a sense of accomplishment spontaneously in my heart.

Seeing his daughter talking freely, Li Zhi became more determined in his guess!
This daughter of mine must be Bai Huxing who went down to earth and did not run away. With her here, the Tang Dynasty can be kept stable for a hundred years!
Give military power!Military power must be given!Li Zhi made up his mind at this moment!

……

After chatting for a while, Li Zhi explained that a welcome ceremony will be held at the court meeting tomorrow, and he will be preparing a banquet at that time.

Let Liu Rengui go back to rest today, get a good night's sleep, and come to court tomorrow full of energy.

Li Yuechen took the opportunity to put forward his own opinion: "Grandfather, can we skip the prisoner presenting ceremony tomorrow?"

"Why?" Li Zhi was puzzled.

"These prisoners were captured with great difficulty. In the future, I still count on them to help build roads, dig mines or do work. If you kill one, you will lose one!" Li Yuechen replied.

Li Zhi patted her head dotingly: "Okay, I'll listen to you!"

After all, now that the road has been repaired, the traffic situation between the two places is indeed much better, and the economic benefits are also much better than before.

The emperor Li Zhi could see these benefits with his own eyes, so he expressed his support for his daughter's suggestion.

Liu Rengui saw that he had nothing to do, so he resigned and left the palace.

Now everyone in Renshou Hall is a family, and the atmosphere is much more relaxed than before.

"Chen'er is back today, and we will have dinner at the Hall of Renshou tonight." Li Zhi waved his hand and gave the order, "Chen'er will also have a drink with me."

"Okay!" Li Yuechen nodded, "Let me go back and take off this armor..."

"You don't need to go back, just stay here, and send someone to clean it after you're done." Li Zhi waved his hand.

Li Yuechen nodded and agreed. In fact, she wanted to say hello to Shangguan Wan'er when she went back, but now that her father has spoken, she should accompany them first.
